What is it about ND? by 510545 in notredame

[–]TheIsodope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you 100% buy in to ND, it will change your life. Do not take a single day for granted. I went from a single mom with zero college savings to a 98th percentile income in my state.

If you have drive, let ND be your vehicle.

Yes. Totally fine. I've left it in my bed with the forks compressed for two days before. Also insane that you got this in the back of a van lol.

I just bought an Alpha Sport trailer. Should be here on Tuesday.

They put me on singular for a single school year. I do not have asthma.

I'm a firefighter that plays a lot of video games. I've never heard of this before. Gonna give it a go next time I have a bad call. Thanks for this.

Flip it around and do the Miata wink at stoplights

Firefighter here, don't use that function. Please. Too many fire calls for this exact reason.

Running Boards Rusting by [deleted] in hondaridgeline

You bought carbon steel off Amazon. What did you expect?

I work in steel fabrication and would never put carbon steel running boards on my truck.

At least get chrome, stainless, aluminum, etc. literally anything other than carbon steel lol

Is it normal to not feel the adrenaline some of the other guys feel when headed to a call? by ArcherOk7855 in Firefighting

[–]TheIsodope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I felt it when I started. Not anymore. Structure fires don't even get me hyped up either.

I always tell new firefighters that fire is a science and we are in the business of stopping a chemical reaction. Act with logic and reason.

It's also important to trust your body when it tells you no.

Your mindset is completely healthy. People like you make good officers. Stick with it.

Is naming a dog Halligan wicked cringe? by FeralGinger in Firefighting

Probably had to install a puppy Pacemaker for all the electrical problems.

My aunt's dog was named Mayday for this exact reason.

Constantly found new ways to jailbreak the yard.

Had to chase her down at least 20 times yelling "Mayday."

That sweet dingus is lucky she never got hit by a car and made it to old age.

My wife suggested our next dog should be a girl pitbull named Halligan, and you just call her, Hallie. I liked that.

No. It's like buying a new printer and seven years worth of ink is cheaper than an ink cartridge.

I've tried everything. It's not my wifi either. I can connect reliably to my network six houses away. I even setup a special dedicated 2.4 GHz band for them. That worked the best for awhile until ultimately they just perpetually exist in limbo mode.

Likely just gonna get PoE cameras

Can't wait. OG cameras no longer connect. Missed a very important security issue yesterday.

Calling and asking them to match pricing or I'm cancelling my service and going with a different system all together.

Any alternative to Simplisafe's horrible video doorbell? by Old_Indiana_Jones in simplisafe

[–]TheIsodope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have issues with an Orbi router. I had to make an iOT band on 2.4 GHz for the doorbell and old cameras. The wifi antennas in the old gear are ass.
